ISI Web of Knowledge – The New Face of research What’s New • Integration of all resources into a single ‘All Database’ search screen, seamlessly move from one resource to the other using Tabs. • Cross content classification system (Subject Areas) for all ISI Web of Knowledge resources. (algorithm performed on controlled vocabulary of specialist databases to classify record Subject Area). Records can be in multiple subject areas. • Topic searching mapped to specialist indexing of specialist databases, as well as titles, abstracts & keywords • All database search results page displays de-duplicated results from variety of sources • Order of precedence of full record present in multiple databases- WoS, CCC, ISIP, DII, BIOSIS Previews, Biological Abstracts, Zoological Records, Medline, Inspec, CAB Abstracts, FSTA, WCI. From the first Full Record view users can link to any other record in the cluster • Citation information displays in full record-instantly view citing papers • Drop down menus now display in search page • Maintain the existing search syntax for easy transition to the new interface. • Book mark a preferred database to access it directly • Times Cited count for all results from ‘All Database’ search even for records not from WOS

7. ISI Web of Knowledge The New Face of research - What’s the same • Content • Search engine- searching rules still apply • Additional features of User Profile (Save searches, create citation alerts, access Endnote Web, customise Web of Knowledge) • Exporting records

8. Types of Searches

9. All Database Searching- Topic Searching • Retrieves search term(s) in following bibliographic fields: title, keywords, keywords plus and abstract • Maps search term across specialist indexing and controlled vocabulary of specialised databases included in entitlement (eg. BIOSIS Concept Codes) Topic • Major Concepts • Concept Codes • CABI Codes • MeSh Heading • Disease data • FSTA Sections • Taxa Notes Biological Abstracts Maps to specialist indexing CAB Abstracts Medline Bibliographic Fields BIOSIS FSTA Abstracts Keywords Title Abstracts Zoological Record

10. Tools in Web of Science • Author Finder- retrieve records from an author of interest • DAIS- Distinct Author Identification System, groups articles into sets likely to be from the same author. • Citation Report • Graphs illustrating publication and citation activity per year • Average citation rate per article and average citation rate per year • h-index • Eliminate self-citations • For less than 10,000 results • Analyse and Refine Results • Subject area, author, institution, country, source title, publication year, etc • Related Records • Locate other articles that cite the same bibliography • Save History/Queries • Alerts (user profile required) • Query alerts (weekly, monthly). Active for 25 weeks • Citation Alerts (be informed when an article is cited). Active for a year. • Export Results • Print • Save to file • E-mail • Export to Research Soft reference software manager (EndNote, Procite, Reference Manager) • RSS Feeds- create subscriptions to your RSS Reader • Export to EndNote Web (user profile required)

11. Bibliographic Fields Indexed in Full Record

12. All Database & Individual Database- Topic Search Search Rules • Operator ‘AND’ implied between terms, no need to enter ‘AND’ in order to retrieve multiple terms • Place expression or phrase in speech marks “ ” to retrieve that exact term • Continue to use an operator after term in parentheses • e.g. (sustain* tourism or ecotourism) AND “south africa” • Order of precedence (1.
